Chapter 129: Did the Deceased Suffer from Severe Hypoglycemia? A Completely Opposite Ending to a Drama!

Not only was it Valentine’s Day, but it was also the day before New Year’s Eve.

And, the deceased most likely did not have a good relationship with their family.

Upon hearing these conclusions from Su Ming, Liu Jing immediately took her phone out of her pocket, opened the calendar, and checked for verification without any hesitation.

Three seconds later, she looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression, then silently put the phone back into her pocket without saying anything more.

Gao Chao, standing by the whiteboard, nodded appreciatively at Su Ming and then responded, “Valentine’s Day on February 14, 2018, was indeed quite special. Because the next day was New Year’s Eve in our country, many flower shops in Liangxi City closed for the holiday.”

“As a result, the remaining open flower shops had sales that were roughly twice as high as usual, and the shop run by the deceased had sales that were three times higher than usual.”

“With such booming sales, the deceased, who had only opened the shop for about half a year, naturally didn’t have much experience, which is why she stayed up late working alone.”

“The most critical issue is, as Deputy Team Leader Su mentioned…”

“Most flower shops are one-person operations, and the deceased had a poor relationship with her family, so no one came to help her. The young woman was alone in the shop.”

“This undoubtedly created a perfect opportunity for the murderer.”

“If someone had been with the deceased at the time, there’s a high probability that such a tragedy wouldn’t have happened.”

At this point, Lin Tian sniffed the tobacco scent on his left index finger, looking somewhat confused, and asked, “Director Gao, if the deceased had a bad relationship with her family, then was it her family that kept in contact with you, inquiring about the case’s progress?”

Gao Chao immediately shook his head, then sighed with some helplessness, saying, “The person who contacted me was the deceased’s boyfriend—no, now I should say her husband.”

“As for the deceased’s family relations, it wasn’t mentioned in the case files, so let me explain.”

“The deceased had a boyfriend she met while studying at Xiangnan University. Although his family situation wasn’t good—his parents both passed away from illness while he was in college—the two of them had a strong relationship, and nothing affected it.”

“After graduation, they both returned to Liangxi City, where the woman grew up, to work.”

“At the first opportunity, the woman introduced the man to her family to get their approval and blessings.”

“But unfortunately, just like those cursed idol dramas, when the deceased’s parents heard about the man’s poor family background, they immediately treated him poorly and even tried to forcibly separate them, confining the woman to her room and forbidding them from meeting.”

At this point, Liu Jing, seeming very experienced, adjusted her black-framed glasses, which seemed to reflect light, and seriously interjected, “According to the development of many idol dramas…”

“When the female lead is confined and forbidden from contacting the poor guy, the two would pretend to agree and develop a secret relationship instead.”

“After experiencing various hardships and tests, they would eventually gain the approval of their parents.”

“True lovers would end up together.”

Liu Jing’s sudden interjection caused Gao Chao to freeze for a moment. Xu Changsheng and Guo Ping looked at her with strange expressions, as if they had just realized that, besides being a criminal psychology expert, Liu Jing might have another hidden identity.

After a moment of silence, Gao Chao shook his head and said solemnly, “If only it had ended like that.”

“After being confined, the deceased didn’t compromise or develop a secret relationship.”

“Instead, she used the most extreme form of resistance to express her determination. After stealing her household registration book, the deceased escaped through the second-floor balcony and contacted her worried boyfriend.”

“There were no grand ceremonies, and they didn’t choose a special day. They just quietly went and got their marriage certificate.”

“After hearing this, the woman’s parents immediately cut ties with her, claiming they no longer had a daughter.”

“The subsequent situation was…”

“The two worked hard together, building their small family.”

“Her boyfriend worked diligently. Since his degree in electronic design didn’t offer a high starting salary, only after gaining experience could his salary become substantial. So when he first entered society, in order to give the deceased a good life, he worked part-time delivering food after his regular job.”

“The deceased also worked hard, taking a human resources position at a company. Though her salary wasn’t high, it was still an income.”

“And then…”

“Life gradually got better. Five years later, the deceased became pregnant, and her husband decided to use his skills to start a new electronics company.”

“But ten months before the deceased’s murder, the child was lost due to an accident.”

“Both the couple were heartbroken, and after some time of reflection, the deceased made the decision to quit her HR job and open her ideal flower shop.”

“And so…”

“The rose shop was opened.”

“Because the shop wasn’t in a good location and was quite remote, the deceased didn’t hire any employees.”

“As long as there were no urgent matters at his company, her boyfriend would come to the shop to help with cleaning or trimming the flowers.”

“But on the night of February 13, 2018, since it was close to the New Year and the company was gradually getting on track, her boyfriend was too busy to come and help.”

“And the strong but considerate deceased didn’t tell her boyfriend about it. Just as her boyfriend was working overtime and couldn’t come home, she chose to stay up late alone and prepare all the Valentine’s Day orders in advance.”

“After the incident, her boyfriend couldn’t forgive himself and still hasn’t started a new life or relationship.”

“He frequently asks me if there’s any breakthrough in the case.”

After Gao Chao finished explaining the deceased’s relationship history, everyone in the room fell into deep thought.

Guo Ping, relying purely on his intuition, commented in a low voice, “I always feel…”

“The deceased’s boyfriend—well, now her husband—seems a bit off.”

“Could the breakthrough be with him?”

It was clear that this was Guo Ping’s intuitive feeling, rather than a conclusion drawn from evidence.

As a scout in the army, although Guo Ping was extremely talented in reconnaissance, he wasn’t good at deductions and relied entirely on his sixth sense.

Gao Chao didn’t say anything but shook his head again and explained calmly, “I’ve already investigated thoroughly.”

“The very first day the case occurred, I completely looked into the deceased’s husband’s background and situation.”

“There’s no suspicion. At least, I couldn’t find any evidence from him, despite using all sorts of methods and techniques.”

Standing to the side, Lin Tian seriously pondered and recalled the case file for a few seconds before furrowing his brows and saying, “Director Gao, I feel that something’s not quite right.”

“The crime scene shows no signs of struggle, which means the deceased didn’t resist or struggle before death.”

“But the reality is…”

“Even if the heart was pierced from the back, based on the body’s natural reaction, the deceased should have been able to struggle for at least a few seconds, or even as long as ten seconds.”

“Does this suggest that, in fact, the deceased may have already been unconscious or unable to resist before being fatally stabbed?”

“And I just noticed something.”

“The deceased’s height was 163 cm, but her weight was only 43 kg, which is clearly an abnormally slim build.”

“Additionally…”

“With the special case of a miscarriage, doesn’t this already suggest that…”

“The deceased frequently suffered from hypoglycemia? If she didn’t replenish sugar in time, it could lead to hypoglycemic symptoms like anxiety, cold sweats, and blurry vision. In severe cases, it can cause unconsciousness or shock.”

“I think, given the heavy workload and the busy circumstances on the day of the murder…”

“It’s very likely that she suffered from hypoglycemia, which would have provided the perfect opportunity for the murderer to strike!”
